Tiny Bubbles in Allentown

After dinner, Val and I did some work around the house getting it ready for the upcoming home improvement work scheduled; needing a break from that fun, we headed out to Sweet Tooth at Elmwood and Allen for dessert.
After we got our orders (ice cream for Val, cake for me), we sat down with our treats and copies of Artvoice and ate and talked away at a window table. I was facing the Elmwood/Allen intersection, and halfway through dessert, some shiny things caught my eye out the window.
Happily, they were soap bubbles, being provided out of a fourth-story apartment window by the man best known as The Bubble Guy; with little breeze at that time of the night, he was using a fan to blow the bubbles out the window and around the neighborhood.
The evening was almost ruined as we walked back to our car; we stood at the Elmwood/Allen intersection in front of Mike's Subs, ready to cross to the corner where the Town Restaurant stands. Traffic was flowing on Elmwood Avenue with the green light, and among the cars were three bicyclists in a group. Suddenly, a white SUV tried to sneak in off of Allen Street by turning right on red. The two closest bicyclists had to quickly brake and veer to the left to barely avoid hitting the SUV, while the third bicyclist was far enough back to brake without coming close to the SUV. The driver of the SUV drove on, coming close to the bikes again, and the first two riders yelled at him, with one swatting the back of the SUV; the driver yelled back at them.
About a half-block away, the SUV unexpectedly stopped with the third bicyclist close behind him; the bike rider barely avoided hitting the SUV, and the vehicle driver shouted at her before driving away.
